For two nights, some of the best bull riders in the world will battle the sport’s toughest bovine athletes. The thrilling 8-second rides and heart-stopping wrecks make the PBR’s Velocity Tour one of the most exciting live sporting events to see.

The bull riding action begins at 7:00 pm MT on Saturday, October 21 and 2 pm MT on Sunday, October 22. Tickets, ranging in price from $15 to $150, go on sale Friday, June 16 to the general public and are available at the Tucson Arena box office, online at www.ticketmaster.com, and by phone at (800) 745-3000.

Available for purchase are PBR Elite Seats. This $150 ticket includes premium seating and a 60-minute pre-event tour that will allow fans to step out on the dirt and behind the scenes to take in everything that goes into putting on the Real Time Pain Relief Velocity Tour. Elite Seat holders will also be given the opportunity to go one-on-one with World Champion-caliber bull riders as well as some of the fiercest bucking bulls in the sport.

Each rider will face one bull in Round 1 on Saturday and again in Round 2 on Sunday, with the Top 10 scoring riders moving on to Sunday’s championship round. At the end of the competition, the rider with the highest combined score will be crowned the champion.

Tucson will be the 44th stop on the 2017 Velocity Tour, which spans the country in cities including Oakland, California; Portland, Oregon; Dayton, Ohio; Bangor, Maine and Birmingham, Alabama.
